Hi
@ArchimedesPenta
. I no longer have the motor, but I do still have the scan of the manual in my Dropbox folder. I could send you a link to that, but I am reluctant to display my Dropbox publicly. 'sailnet.com' will not permit me to send you a private message. I see you also do not have messaging rights, as a junior member.
Boards like this are often scanned by bots to get hold of valid email addresses. If you have or can generate one that you don't mind exposing, let me know that and I can email you a copy. You could then 'burn' the address?

I understand, my adress is Archimedespenta [at] hotmail [dot] com

Thanks for sharing!

It seems I am still subscribed to this thread, your message came as a bit of a surprise! I have a scan of the Crescent 4 manual here, if you would like a copy? Message me, and I'll send you a link to my dropbox folder.

Hello, I have looked all over the internet but cant find the manual for Archimedes penta 3,9. Is is possible for you to send me a message so I also can see the manual for Crescent 4?

I would really appreciate it!

Hi Will.

Someone has kindly photographed the pages from the Crescent Owners Manual and put them on the web but I can't find the link. However, I have 12 jpegs of the relevant pages for the 3.9HP - if you send me your email address to david "at" dajome "dot" com (I'm not allowed to post email addresses yet), I'll email the pages over to you.

Hi Dajome, I see a while back you had the Cresent Archemides manual, is there any chance you still have it and could email it to me?

Many thanks

Will

Me Too!

Hi everyone,

I have been given (yes!) a Crescent 4 outboard, which is the 1970's version of the Volvo Penta 3.9 / Archimedes 4HP. This example is an external long range fuel tank version, but with no tank. I am hoping to get it running with a very small internal tank I can just about fit under the hood - my dinghy is very small.

I too would be very, very grateful to anyone who could supply either a scan of the relevant manual, or just details of the fuel mix, spark plug type and gap, points gap, timing etc. I have recently found a link on the web, which it seems I'm not allowed to post here, but it appears in Yachting and Boating World Forums - which may be relevant - and I hoped including it here might help someone. I was going to try it out with a 25:1 mix, so I've been saved from that mistake, I hope. That forum says the Volvo Penta 51 (5 HP similar motor?) runs on 50:1, so I will try that out when I find a new spark plug to fit.

My boat is a home-built 8 foot pram with standing lug, so I would not welcome a tank under foot at any time. I also have an old British Seagull 40+ from 1954 - nearly as old as I am, but have yet to try it out on the boat. The Crescent is lighter and cleaner, and may be better as it seems in good condition. I hope I can get it running.

Crescent 39 query

Hi, Cfleeming seems to be very popular - the only person on the planet with a manual for the Crescent (Volvo Penta) 39.
I also am on the lookout for this very rare information as I have one with no spark and the electrics are "interesting" to say the least - I think mine have been bodged as the connections don't appear original and don't seem to be complete. If you're willing to do me a copy (paper or electronic) I'd be happy to pay for your inconvenience.
I live in the UK
Many thanks
Dave

Volvo Penta vp39 manual

I am also looking for a manual or diagrams of the V-P 39; (actually my brother is). If they are scanned, it would be great to get them via email.
Thanks in advance

I damaged the propeller, some one knows where I can purchase a new compatible one? And what are the dimensions/technical details of the propeller?
May I have a copy of the manual vp 39 ?
